There is a big pin that part of the shift linkage pivots on. It is on a bracket that is held onto the back of the trans over the diff cover. The pin gets loose in the bracket and the linkage gets all sloppy. Even a bit of "pin wiggle" will make the shifter very sloppy. I have had no problems with the stock linkage except wear due to the 20+ years it has been in service. I would suggest buying the clevis end for the long shaft and the two linkage rods and replacing them while you are in there. Parts are still available and fairly cheap. No need to go to heim joints, just freshen up the stock 20 year old stuff. The 525 will work fine unless it is abused. Don't feel the need to replace it unless you like doing big smoky burnouts with it.
